Graham’s Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy Theory Not New

By Sarah Posner

…ama administration has been working with him to coordinate the protests in Egypt.” (emphasis added). In my long piece about the shari’ah conspiracy theory industry earlier this month, I noted: ACT!, along with several conservative websites, has promoted the conspiracy theory that Obama has “quietly” appointed people with Brotherhood ties to top positions in his administration in order to orchestrate uprisings in the Muslim world. According to this…

Blank Sabbath: Sens. Sponsor Bill to Curb Wage Theft

By Peter Laarman

…n when he responds to the groans and cries of unpaid laborers in Pharoah’s Egypt (Exodus 6:5). From that point forward the biblical emphasis on the just treatment of labor remains in full force and effect: Leviticus 19:13: “You shall not defraud your neighbor; you shall not steal; and you shall not keep for yourself the wages of a laborer until morning.” Deuteronomy 24:14-15: “You shall not withhold the wages of poor and needy laborers…You shall…

On Eve of Sudan Split Clashes Continue

By Ashley Makar

…emption and present-day lamentation. When William talks about crossing the Egyptian desert, he talks about the Holy Spirit. He remembers Pentecost, when, in the Christian Scripture, the first apostles received the guidance of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem. William, however, didn’t make it to Jerusalem or to a university. After he crossed from Egypt into Israel, border guards took him to immigration prison. Months later, he was handed over to an Isr…

Invited by Allah

By Amina Wadud

The year President Sadat was killed I lived in Cairo. That was 1981. Egypt is just across the water from the Saudi Arabian peninsula so it occurred to me it would be a very easy to make hajj from there. I bought an airline ticket and was in contact with the family of one of my graduate school friends. They would pick me up from the airport and host me during my stay and the days of ritual. Nice plan. So I went to the embassy to get the visa and w…

…him to a post as the Playwright in Residence at the Library of Alexandria (Egypt), researching, writing and holding developmental readings of his play A Matter of Fact about the destruction of the Ancient Library. Whilst in Alexandria, he led a State Department program for Egyptian youth to write and perform a site-specific play, Let’s Make a Change, for which they were almost all thrown in a prison where it was said “You never again see birds.” T…

Good News Bad News

…rk here, but it is pretty comprehensive. In 1982 I tried to make hajj from Egypt. I was barred twice. And although I managed to get over the first two hurdles, I could not get over this, the third: woman, where’s your mahram? There are a few ways around this: legally Saudi women can get a permanent pass from their mahram which says they are permitted to travel. And they do, as much as anyone who has the means to travel. With regard to hajj or umra…

The General’s Son Recounts Very Different Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

By Ira Chernus

…against Egypt and other Arab nations determined to destroy it. But in fact Egypt massed troops on Israel’s border only because the Egyptians believed (from faulty intelligence) that Israel was preparing to invade its ally, Syria. Though that wasn’t true, it is true that Israeli military leaders were urging their civilian government to fight a war sooner rather than later. The Israelis knew that the Egyptian army was far too weak to resist the Jewi…

Forget History Channel’s The Bible, Meet Omar

By Haroon Moghul

…om his ugly abandonment by his brothers to his unexpected rise to power in Egypt, to the the happy if still awkward family reunion down the line. But this doesn’t mean the Muslim world doesn’t produce its own literature and media, which has progressively become more and more sophisticated in terms of the quality of storytelling and production. Until the rise of social media and indigenous film production, though, this media was mostly the written…

A Long History of Blaming the Jews

By Gordon Haber

…ed. He begins, surprisingly, in ancient Egypt. In the fourth century BCE, Egyptian counter-narratives to Exodus began to appear, in which the Jews were not freed through divine agency but were expelled due to their “nastiness,” as Nirenberg puts it. Many such narratives feature a Moses figure, a rigid leader of a rebellious people; Josephus himself recounts a third-century story about an isolationist group that conquered Egypt, “attacking the tem…

Some Thoughts on Richard Dawkins’ Terrible Tweet

By Haroon Moghul

…ur thumb for decades? It is easy for Americans to forget that we supported Egypt’s dictator for thirty years, and happily welcomed Qaddafi back into ‘civilization’ when he realigned his policies with our own—not in the area of human rights, but ‘counterterrorism’. (And by ‘our’ I mean certain governments.) The next best response to Dawkins will come, if it does at all, with how Muslims deal with a multipolar world, in which the West is not the onl…
